The Advocate for Fagdom

“The Advocate for Fagdom” gradually assembles its narrative like a puzzle, weaving together personal accounts with rare archival footage. Art galleries showcase film clips, which are interspersed with on-location shots, and vice versa. A diverse group of writers, filmmakers, gallery owners, actors, photographers, producers, friends, and loved ones engage in a mix of interpretation, analysis, and storytelling. Notable figures such as John Waters, Bruce Benderson, Harmony Korine, Gus Van Sant, Richard Kern, and Rick Castro share their insights, theories, and personal stories. This amalgamation creates a captivating portrait of an extraordinary individual with unique talents—a complex character in conflict not with one system, but with all systems. It depicts a man perpetually navigating between his rebellious punk spirit and profound sensitivity.
